What is remanufacturing?

Remanufacturing is a process.  The Remanufacturing Institute considers a product remanufactured if:

  • Its primary components come from a used product.
  • The used product is dismantled to determine the condition of its components.
  • All missing, defective, broken or substantially worn parts are restored to a functionally good condition or replaced with new, remanufactured, or sound, functionally good used parts.
  • To put the product in sound working condition, such machining, rewinding, refinishing or other operations are performed as necessary.
  • The product is reassembled and a determination is made that it will operate like a similar new product.

Why is remanufacturing considered the “ultimate form of recycling?” 

In most cases the benefits of recycling are limited to reducing a product to its recoverable raw material constituents.  Recycling fails to capture the value originally added to the raw materials to manufacture a finished product.  Remanufacturing recycles the value originally added to the product and thus makes a greater economic contribution per unit of product than recycling.  Remanufacturing can preserve up to 85% of the energy expended in the manufacturing of the original product.
